StratoJump: Exploring the experience of jumping to the stratosphere

7.26.2014

StratoJump is an installation that explores the experience of high altitude jumping toward the edge of space. A participant wearing a head-mounted display is surrounded by the scene from the ground level to the height of the stratosphere. As jumping effect is linked to the participant’s head motion, the participant can feel as if he/she were actually jumping to that altitude. The spherical 360-degree video was recorded by a combination of 6-wide angle cameras lifted by a helium-filled balloon that reached a height of 32,000m, and post-processed with video stabilization.
